I know it is pretty difficult choosing sides when it comes to this kind of scenarios but first you said in legal terms- it is called “conflict or clash of interest”.
I don't think people here on steem blockchain need to be involved in an act that will dampen the progress and forwardness of this chain. Better still, they can relief themselves of their post from the other party for the new found party not too lose on both ends. Double jeopardy!
And a man's word must be credible and upright, always know where you stand, the steem blockchain now knows @donkeypong position henceforth. Although, he didn't have a bad blood against people fronting for EOS. Just stated his mind that's all...
Trust.
